RIOT BREAKS OUT AT TV AUDITION
Three people were arrested and two hospitalised at an audition for hit U.S. TV series AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL.
Potential contestants for the forthcoming season of the modelling series, fronted by Tyra Banks, were waiting to try out on Saturday (14Mar09) when chaos broke out on the streets outside the Park Central New York hotel in Manhattan.
Two women and a man were arrested on charges of inciting to riot and disorderly conduct, according to a New York Police Department official.
Two people were taken to a hospital, while a further four declined treatment for their injuries.
